*How #SriLanka got ruined*
Lankans voted for #Rajapakshas knowing very well what they did in the past, including corruption, selling out national assets to #China, #dynastic politics and all.
They still voted for them because Rajapakshas promised things they could not refuse.

1. Their #GST, called VAT Tax, on all products was reduced to 8%, thus making everything cheaper in one stroke. (It also killed the govt revenue). People loved things getting cheaper.
2. The minimum #incometax threshold was changed from 5 Lakhs per annum to 30 Lakhs! Very few earned more than 30L!
A very large part of the population became #tax exempt. This was very popular among the salaried class.

Global Fishing Watch & #Somalia Gov both reported more than 100 Iranian vessels in Somali waters in 2019-2020
#Puntland issued, lacks legal powers, 52 licenses in less than 60 days to trawlers, illegal in Puntland & Somalia, per doc obtained by @GI-TOC $10k-15k each license

Assuming continuity of the licence fees per year, #Puntland would get $3M-$5M per year.
This money is collected by agents, there are few of them, 5.
One of them is Saddam Ismail, an agent for 8/52 vessels.
He is linked to arms smuggling: delivering arms & picking up fish

Models project that #ocean #phytoplankton will become increasingly starved of #nitrogen as #climatechange progresses.
If realised, this has implications for #fisheries.
But how can we monitor this change in the real ocean?
Nitrogen isotopes!

If realised, this has implications for #fisheries.

Nitrogen isotopes!
rdcu.be/cAlW2
What are nitrogen (N) isotopes?
There is a heavy isotope (15-N) and a light isotope (14-N).
Some processes prefer to use 14-N more than 15-N. When phytoplankton use nitrogen, they prefer 14-N.
This increases the ratio of 15-N to 14-N in seawater.

This increases the ratio of 15-N to 14-N in seawater.
But when N is scarce, phytoplankton have less preference.
Like if there was only one kind of pizza at a party, you don't have the option of being picky (you have to have the pineapple).
In this case, phytoplankton no longer increase the ratio of 15-N to 14-N in seawater.

Did you know food systems emit 1/3 of all greenhouse gases, occupy 1/2 of ice-free land & are responsible for 3/4 of freshwater use and eutrophication?
Yet, many studies aiming to reduce these pressures largely overlooked blue foods, so we dove into them here (2/10)

(1) The 4th stage of the Program by the Min of #Fisheries to build #ArtificialReefs and #FishSpawning habitats with old busses and concrete structures is been successfully conducted in the seas off the #Jaffna peninsula. Earlier stages were conducted in Trinco, Galle and Matara.
(2) The protest by the #TamilNadu #Fishermen against the program stating it as an irresponsible move has been rejected by the #GOSL and will be continued. Similar programs are conducted globally, it has been recommended by the #MarineResearch Institute in SL, #NARA as well.
(3) While it will boost Fish Spawning, #Marine Habitats and #environment damaged over the years by human factors and #illegal fishing methods such as #BottomLineTrawling, it will also act as an shield against bottom line trawling conducted illegally by the #Indian Fishermen.

The blackmailing #Morocco uses against the #EU& #Spain,and the use of two sensitive topics (#migration & #terrorism) has not started with what happened in #Ceuta. It has been the case along the #EU-#Morocco relations’ history. A quick flashback:
1:used to push #EU to accept #Morocco’s claims to join the #EU in the 90s after being lonely/unwanted in its natural continent,the #AU(b/c of its illegal military #occupation of the neighbouring #WesternSahara)->the #EU submitted but proposed an association agreement instead
2:migration used as key element during negotiations of the 2000 #Association_Agreement to maximise the funds provided to #Morocco by the #EU under the agreement and to get what the #EU calls “Advanced status” under the #ENP (European Neighbouring Policy) with related advantages
Primary land for #agriculture #forestry and #fisheries is front page news and may be at the cusp of a generational bull run. Yet, the market hasn’t really factored this in. 🤷

2. Classical economists like Adam Smith and David Ricardo modelled the economy with four factors of production: Labour, Capital, Entrepreneurship (or ‘technology’).. and land.
Tech and capital used to be the most scarce, but do you think that's the case now?

3. Recently megatrend analysts have been pointing at increasing food and fiber needs, increasing population, increasing wealth, and decreasing land availability all contributing to relative scarcity of good quality primary land.

On #trade, the two sides would revert to #WTO rules.
We’re talking tariffs, customs checks, and regulatory checks. In other words, increased hassle, increased time and increased costs for businesses trading with the EU.
